hermanita

There she laid, in the black pools of her eyes as her future sped on 

 

Irretrievable

 

Words calm her as much as a trembling cup to a drowned mans lips

 

I won’t see her like this

 

A wilted flower not yet in blossom

 

Plucked and retrieved to be laid under glass and questioned for its being

 

She’s much too young for such questions

 

She’s much too vivacious to be this drawn

 

Like a tight drum that’s beat upon by life’s brutish hands

 

How if I could take her, cup her visage and lay it in a light

 

Free from her being, mind undrawn

 

To see her petals quiver under the unyielding ray of self expression

 

And bloom as she should. 

 

That I would finally see her happy. 

 

 

Truly happy.
